    Easy to setup NETGEAR - 8-Port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet Unmanaged Switch! Great price! Easy to use and a great price for the number of ports needed. Used several throughout the home to have ethernet connections through our home for smart devices in every room instead of using all WIFI. This is a reliable product at reasonable price, would recommend!

    Effective, rugged network switch

    My goto for unmanaged, gigabit switches. This network switch is rugged, feels like good build quality and I have never had any issues with them. The 8 port give flexibility to add multiple devices with no concerns for the speed of the device being plugged in. Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables both work with no problem. The power supply wall-wort is small and plugs into outlets, battery backups, or power strips with not issues. The front facing LED indicators let you know which port is linked and the speed, based on the color of the LEDs. The POE switches have also been winners in my book.

    I've use this switch and other NetGear switches on multiple occasions with zero technical issues and zero setup sense it's unmanaged. Completely plug and play with great throughput and no lags.

    Bought it to replace a TD Gear that was failing. This switch is excellent. It connects everything at 1000 mb. Looks great and does exactly what is supposed to do. Auto connect and keeps network traffic isolated to the device that calls for information. Perfect small switch.

    Great device. Nothing to setup. Connect the power cord, connect to your network and away you go. Easy to attach to a wall with the inserts and screws provided. This switch allows each of my connected devices to perform as if they were direct connected to my high speed router. The price was also very reasonable.

    Works great. Netgear has always been a solid choice for ethernet switches. Be sure to use a surge protector - don't plug it directly into a wall socket. We had to buy this one because the power brick on our old one fried out due to a power outage.

    Works like a charm! Installed it about a month ago and its performance has been flawless. Ping time, as well as upload and download speeds, are remarkably fast and stable in all outlets it serves. The switch and its power adapter have a small footprint so it fits nicely in the junction box. Also, lightweight enough to be held in place with a single zip tie.

    Kind of your bread and butter switch for an extra port or two. They go years without rebooting. I’ve installed a dozen or more without issues. The metal case is a nice touch. Probably the same guts in the plastic case, but just seems a little more professional.

    I bought Linksys Velop 3 pack. However, I was looking for more ports for me to directly connect my computer to the router. Netgear switch was recommended by the Greek squad technician. This is a great product and complements the Velop 3 pack. Thank you

    This little box works like a charm always. I think this is the 4th I buy, not to replace older ones but for new jobs around the office. The small ones (5 port) are ideal to split ethernet among TV, PS5, XBOX and ROKU on the same room.
